I get the appeal of wanting to make things nice and give tragic characters a happy life but if you try to do that with a series whose appeal is intense interpersonal drama and tragedy, it just gets incredibly boring to see everyone happy and getting along and being supportive of each other and shit. it makes them so generic, stripping away what made them interesting and compelling in the first place

#the fact that jc left wq and her family to die while wwx saved her and her family #is in fact a very important part of their relationships woth each other #jc and wq dating would never happen in canon even if she actually liked him #likewise jzx stayed with his family and jyl stayed with him #putting them at odds with the wens and wwx no matter how much jyl and wwx loved each other #and jc and wwx have this tragic tortuous relationship marred by parental abuse and rife with cruelty and sacrifice #and these things really matter to their characterizations and personalities #mm and wn arent just one-note side characters they're people with convictions who fought back against #contempt and brutality for themselves and what they thought was right #ugh everyone is so bland in this AU. why do I can about them at all #all mm does is make uhaul lesbian jokes and wn is just a shy and nice aroace guy #which. dont think I dont see that. thin fucking ice #anyway these things are rly important to their characterizations and identities #and idk who these people are or why I should care about them #...still have to finish it tho. I gotta #ficblogging
